This leaves a nominal surplus of $780,,
SIS but IL will be seen that the assignee has
81, ,S00,0 600 worth of Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton preferred stock, given TO Robert
Garrett among the assets What could be
realized on the q, ,906 shares of the common,
is a question that can be only solved by an
attempt TO sell the securities, and the same
can be said of l0l ,40l shares of the Dayton,
Fort Wayne and Chicago stock. A large
block of United States bonds are all hy
pothecated, and It will be discovered are
the only good collateral in large loans. In
fact, it is extremely unlikely that anything
will be left after the payment of the secured
loans, which already hold the greater part
Of the assets as collateral. The situation is
made all the worse by the fact that the
railroad stocks depend in great measure
for their values upon a hope OF
realizing something after the secured loans
were paid Off The 400 shares of New York
Central were borrowed in the Stock Ex-
change and put in among other collaterals
in order to ''sweeten them," as the street
puts it. The great item in the unsecured Ii
abilities is the item of deposits, which
amountslto over 80, ,000 900 and represents
assets of the railroad which were deposited
with Ives
The largest creditor is the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Company,
whose claim is for about S5,000,00O. III this
proves n total loss, then the stock is practi-
cally worthless

Littlo GfrIhood.

While it IS true that large girl In
many respects cannot do as a large boy
does, and usually has no desire to, it iS
equally true with the exceptions adj
mittcd to all rules) that little girl can
do almost exactly what little boy can,
and she usually wants to; and,
further, if allowed to, she generally will
do it.
If mothers will guide inst cad Of thwart
this tendency, it will be vastly to the
benefit OF their girls and not at all to the
injury OF their boys.
There would seem TO be no good
reason why the training and education
of girls and Of boys should not be esseD-
TALLY identical up to a certain age.
Be rot in too great a hurry to impose
upon your little girl the burden of her
sex. She comes into the world little,
happy, free human being, caring not
whether she Is boy or girl, so long as
her divine rights OF food, love and
good time generally are not denied to
her.
God gives her life: do not you, because
she is a girl curtail her liberty or forbid
her the pursuit OF happiness in her own
and Natures way? Things that are
nice" for a boy are nice % for his Sis
ter while both are little children. Things
that are proper" for healthy active girl
are usually just as proper for healthy,
active boy.
It is a mistaken notion that certain
roughnesses, a certain disregard of the
proprieties, a certain boisterous liberty,
may be allowed to our boys because
they are boys, when they are not per-
missible to ouTgirls.
Would we have our girls rough and
boisterous, then? By no means. And
just as little should we have our boys so.
But we would have our boys strong.
athletic, fond of exercise; we would let
them run and climb, and even shout, IL
the exuberance of their spirits demanded
it-all in the proper time and place.
We should not deny thesame privileges
TO our girls. so far as their strength
allows them to take them,

Evan-Hauded Justice,

An aged man appeared before the Cadi
at Damascus. He was in much distress.
What can do for you this morning?"
asked the Cadi.
Hassan, the rich merchant has done
my granddaughter, Fatima, a grievous
injury. She was engaged to be married
to a young man whom she loved.
"She was as lovely as the roses, but
Hassan spread evil reports about her,
and he was to have married her, but has
abandoned her in consequence of these
false reports. She is now broken in
health and spirits, and longs for death.
Justice, o Cadi let justice prevail"
The Cadi wrote out cdpids, placed in
the hands Of his deputy, and in p short
time Hassan was brought into court.
Hassan pleaded guilty. He admitted
that he had spread the injurious reports,
and that he knew they were false. He
signed complete retraction, in which
he confessed that he was a liar and
slanderer.
The court took the case under advise
ment.
Next the decision was rendered.
"Hassan, stand up! said the Cadi.
"You have done this unfortunate girl
a great injury. You have robbed her of
her good name, which was all she had.
The highest punishment for robbery is
the loss of your ears. The executioner
Will cut on your ears 10 remlnd you that
you must not cut off the reputation OF
Others"
At given signal the public eXecutioner
Topped off both OF Hassan's ears.
I'm not done with you yet, Hassan,
said the Cadi.
Mercy Mercyw pleaded the unfor-
tunate man, have I not restored the
girls reputation by my public retrac-
tion?"
aVae 1-o,, have rastorad bar reDuta-
tion after a fashion, and now I propose
to restore your ears. The executioner
will proceed to sew on your ears again"
And it was done.

His wife, however, did not respond TO
his cheerful d" good morning" but lay
apparently as dead IS the proverbial log.
Even the rise and fall Of the bed cover
ing above her gentle bosom was not
perceptible, and a sudden suspicion that
her spirit had taken flight, where the
husband ceases from troubling and the
tearv are at rest crossed his mind.
With this feeling upon him he rushed
towards the matrimonial couch only
to discover that two pillows had been
placed lengthwise in the bed, so as TO
resemble the human figure, and on one
OF them was pinned a note directed in
Mrs. TimblethorpelS handwriting. He
opened it and read:
" Timothy have gone OF with man (;
when l return is immaterial 10 you.
TILDA."
Timothy dropped into an attitude sug-
gestive of Sardanapalus after his down
fall. Could IL be possible that Illda
had deserted the children, whose CHEEKY
voices were borne upward TO his ears
from the hammock in the garden2 She
might have left him. but how could these
cherubs get along without a mothers
care2 Then he thought OF what all his
intimate friends would say, If she had
really eloped, and he knew that Brown,
who never had a kind word for his own
wife, would say he was a brute.
Mechanically he dressed himself, and
as he looked into the closets and ward
robes in a somewhat dazed manner he
could not discover that she had made
very extensive preparations for her
fight.
He finally descended to the breakfast
room where his offspTinCs were already
assembled around the table, and said,
with an assumption Of Indifference:
=" Where is your mother
" On, she's gone out to ride with Uncle
Bill, piped up a little voice.
Just then a noise Of carriage wheels
was heard at the gate, and Mrs. Timble-
thorpe with a bunch OF field daisies in
her bosom, presently took her place be
fore the smoking urn.
Wien the meal was concluded, Tim
othy asked, as he lighted his cigar with
Mrs. TimblethOrpes missive:
" Did YOU have i pleasant rider
" Nerv. said his wife, as sweetly as IL
a cloud had never drifted across their
domestic heaven.
" BY the way" he continued, as he
stood with his hand on the door knob,
&" it's a fine day, ami 1 guess we had bet
ter take the children down to the beach.
The barOucae viii be here at two
o'clock"
This is how Mrs. Timblethorpe got
two outings in one DAY, and Timothy
prevented his brother-in-law from getting
the better Of him Boston Budget
